US EditionMegan Boswell sentenced to life plus 33 years in the death of baby Evelyn Boswell
Megan Boswell, convicted on 19 charges including first-degree murder, received consecutive sentences due to the crime's brutality, reflecting the court's view of her as a societal danger.
- On September 5, 2025, in Sullivan County, Tennessee, Megan Boswell received a life sentence along with an additional 33-year term for the murder of her 15-month-old daughter, Evelyn Boswell.
- This sentence followed a five-year investigation and a week-long trial that concluded with Boswell’s February 13, 2025 conviction on 19 charges, including first-degree murder and child abuse.
- After Evelyn was reported missing in February 2020, authorities launched a weeks-long Amber Alert and later found her remains in a trash can on the family property in Blountville.
- At the hearing, Boswell argued that the state had treated her unjustly and maintained that she would have been found not guilty had her trial been impartial, while Judge Jim Goodwin described her as a “dangerous offender.”
- Boswell’s defense attorney plans to appeal the conviction, focusing on the state’s failure to prove Evelyn’s cause of death conclusively, and a status hearing is scheduled for January 16, 2026.
